They stand like surreal monuments in the California scrubland: prototypes of Donald Trump's proposed "big, beautiful" border wall between the US and Mexico.
The eight 30ft high slabs are the first tangible part of the controversial project that the US President says will help solve America's immigration problems.

Most places in south America that can afford a wall, also the middle east.

Heck, I want to know which one has those power lines attached to it in the pic that dragnet2 posted above.
Run 17Kv across the wall and they get fried trying to climb it. :D
I like #4. Add Claymore AP mines along the top and it’s perfect.
#6 and 7 should only be considered if those metal posts are electrified
That’s her “look at me!” standby.
That’s where landmines come in handy
The Democrats will call it a fence or barrier, just so the can say, ‘Trump didn’t get to build a wall.’
That’s why IMO everything for 12 miles south of the border should be a no man’s land. The U.S. military should have 100% permission to blast anything and everything that moves in that zone.
It worked so well they are building a second at the border between India and Bangladesh.
Those are both much bigger then this one on the Mexican border will be.
Walls.
They are the hot new thing. All the cool countries are getting them. And the US should always be fashion forward.
I do?
 'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, ' it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.'
'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.' 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master - that's all.' |

another idiot. What part of my post mentions a problem
Mostly agreed (my Dad was a Forester). However, many falls involve landing awkwardly, resulting in one’s head slamming into the surface struck, among other things. Does the NASA study take that into account? And what about fatalities due to long term effects? (I glanced at the paper, but am too tired to read 58 pages...)
Regardless, without immediate treatment, I think most anyone who falls off a “Trump” wall is going to be in a really bad way.
I agree.
Brigade level “time on target” with HE and some DPICM.
May I suggest that the wall be built just as deep (in the ground)as it is high!!! Also frag or claymore bombs at the bottom and top of the wall.
Just for the record I can read quite well and I can also read between the lines and what you intimated is that there’s been nothing done since last year and that is patently untrue as you said you take the first step and the first step in this case is to build prototypes to have discussion on which would work and then move forward there are other steps as well such as payment for the wall such as which do the Border agents prefer in the middle of doing their jobs they also now have to look at prototypes and decide which is best this does not happen overnight I hope you can read this and get the point I know exactly what I’m talking about I’m talking about a process so that you do it right the first time and not have to do it and redo it and redo it because people were in a hurry to get it done as the saying goes patience is a virtue what is worth having is worth waiting for Etc thank you and goodbye
By going down the creeks and rivers as usual.

Thanks. I never would have thought of that.
Wall porno! Love it.
The purpose of the wall is to slow down the border crossers. The wall, if unmanned by the BP or military, is useless. Get it? It’s called a “force multiplier”.
BS. The physiological boost in knowing the wall is contiguous is worth the cost. It sends a message. The wall is political as well as functional.
